My first run through probably took me about 80 hours or so of play time due to about 10 hours' worth of fumbling around in the beginning, as I hadn't played since Ruby and had no idea which Pokemon were good or bad, and 15 or so hours worth of fumbling training my Kadabra / Haunter duo right before catching Palkia. After that, it was another 10 or so hour hiatus raising a Garchomp and fine-tuning my team for the face-off with the Elite Four.

My second run through has me stopped right before Victory Road at about 60 hours right now, due to the need to EV-tuning my team before continuing on. Plus, playing with a 5-strong team all the way to Canalave tended to slow things down somewhat (I was reserving my last slot for my GameStop Deoxys when I got it), plus I took another 15-20 hours to fill out my Pokedex, including a lot of time surfing GTS, which was worth it to get my own Cranidos, plus a Machamp, Golem, Gengar, and Alakazam, as well as a Munchlax/Snorlax and Feebas/Milotic.

My Dex is at 101/141 right now, and will most likely be closer to 120/149 by the time I get to the end of Victory Road. ^_^

Currently constructing a new team. Trainer card will be up when it is ready.

Nice 5 post you have there, delete the extra ones, I hate it when ppl don't use the delete button.
It took me about 50 hours, I got stuck once, I didn't know I was supposed to go to the library, but due to that, I beat E4 like nothing,

I like to just make the most of my game and not worry about how fast I beat it. I try to enjoy it. Thats just the way I play most games. So I have no idea how long it took me to beat it. If I had to guess...probably about 4 months. I played a little every day.

if you use only one teamy then the lv goes up faster with as result that random battles will be more easy and faster, it will get hard at the E4 though but if you have enough items than that won't be a problem as well.

I'm at 30hours so far, and I'm training my pokemon. All 8 badges, training for E4. I was trying to have most the pokemon seen by E4 so I could get my Nat. Dex right after, but only 121 seen, and I'm probably going to have to spend a while training before the E4.
